Pat On The Head

This cartoon made me think about all the Principals and Assistant Principals who have gotten big bonuses and better jobs because of the "work" they did improving graduation rates. Of course, improving graduation rates had nothing to do with education. Principals approve credits for breathing. APs encourage teachers to give out answers during exams and pay per session so teachers can do on line assignments for their students. When it comes to education, the pat on the head is money in the pocket to those on top.

By the way, I know there are some of you reading this that know this post is all about you. I'll be laughing when the pat on the head turns into a kick in the butt for all the damage you have done to the students in your charge.
